1. You can pack so much nutrition into one meal (protein, healthy fat, fiber, vitamin boosts, etc).

2. You can take them with you on-the-go! I often bring them in the car with me on the way to school.

3. You can dress them up with cute santa hat strawberries and CocoWhip and make them really festive.

The thing with smoothies (even green ones) is that they can get really sugar-y, really fast if you're not careful. That's why I love using Silk's unsweetened almondmilk and keep the fruit to a minimum.

Thank you for supporting brands that support Nosh and Nourish!! I choose them based on what I already cook/create with and feel 100% confident in recommending to you.
